for the price i think it looks good, for some reason, i dont think the picture does it justice, i have a feeling it would be worth every penny.

It looks decent with a nice slim cut, but at $365 + tax (close to $400), you might be better off spending the extra hundred or two and getting a ralph lauren black label or something else on sale or in B&S.

pinstripes are really aggressive

fabric/material seems heavy

make sure it fits or else it's never good

I have a very similar j crew suit in navy pinstripe. It is from last Fall. Might be the same suit. It isn't my favorite suit but for the money I'm very happy with it.

I paid that price for a NWT purple label suit... I'd buy that suit for closer to 100 if I really needed.

shameless advertising. Look at my sig.

btw, something about that suits silhuette is off, not sure what it is. from my limited experiences w/ jcrew suits, their fabrics are far from the best in mass market rtw brands.

You won't get one in your size and with the color and styling you want for that price. I really dislike the quoted line of reasoning, as it takes anomalies and makes them to be readily available for everyone.

+1, it's only out of luck that you'd find RLBL at that price, especially a basic one. A better suggestion in the $400-500 range would be BB 1818 on sale.
